Two police constables were gunned down at Ring Road in the Pishtakhara police station jurisdiction on Monday afternoon.

Police said that members of the special police forces Constable Osman and Constable Subhanullah were on duty on Ring Road when terrorists riding a motorcycle attacked them.

Both died on the spot, and the attackers also took their AK-47 rifles after the attack.

A large number of police personnel were sent to the area in a search operation but the perpetrators managed to escape.

“We are conducting a search operation in the area after two of our constables were killed by the terrorists,” said an official of the local police station.

He said that the terrorists had increased their activities in the adjacent tribal belt as well as in the Peshawar district in the recent past and were frequently attacking law enforcement agencies as well as security forces.

The only benefit of that pathetic news conference (in which CM khattak requested TTP for mercy and assured them EVERY respect that they wish) is that TTP is not targetting PTI now as they used to target ANP. The two MPAs who lost their lives were independent and were only supporting the pti govt (one killed in funeral in Mardan was still ideologically attached to ANP). After securing himself, the CM is boasting to move in Peshawar (in his bullet proof land cruiser), and boasting to remove the many checkposts of the previous govt, but without doing anything concrete to bring peace; police and the innocent people continue to die on daily basis in funerals, markets and mosques. It is for this reason that the pTI leadership doesnt condemn the terrorists; rather they link these tragedies with drones, america's war, American dollars received by previous govt and so on. Although these slogans did move people before the elections, in the present situation they ssound pathetic as well as hilarious.
